Sony camera issues

F

forkandwait

Hi all,

I am trying to mount my sony cyber shot camera (DSC-W55 it says -- about 3 years old) on my system. I get as far as the attached output to /var/log/messages, but I can't figure out what to do next.

I tried following the directions here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-disks.html

but I can't find a umass0 device node to mount. I also don't see anything when I run `camcontrol devlist`, even as root.

The camera is using a removable flash drive, if that matters.

If someone could point me in the right direction to mounting this camera, all I really want to do is offload the pictures.

Thanks!

It depends on the file format of the flash drive. If it's a fat drive like camera's often are then it's as simple as plugging it into a usb port and mounting it.

You can plug just the flash drive into a usb port and issue
Code: 
dmesg | tail
Post the output.

Then see what find of file system it has on it. An Example for /dev/da0
Code: 
fdisk /dev/da0
post the output.

Look at those instructions again, particularly the mount command. Hint: umass0 is not what shows up in /dev.
